Hello. I'm trying to remap my mouse thumb button. I've tried xte, xbindkeys, imwheel, and a few more. They all bind the mouse thumb to a key correctly, but there is an issue: when I am holding another mouse button (ie left click) and then I press the thumb button, then the thumb button will do nothing.
configuringmouse 2017-01-26 07:49:41
I tested it with xev, having thumb_1 remapped to SPACE key, and while pressing thumb in fact printed space, pressing thumb while holding left click printed button 8 (default mouse thumb button), so S O M E H O W the sole act of holding a mouse button DENIES EVERY REMAP TOOL AVAILABLE FOR LINUX.

I've googled for hours and there are some people who had my same issue, but no one provided an answer!!!!! i'm going crazy. I've been 4 hours on this. I just want my mouse thumb to behave as a keyboard key, why is it so complicated?

hi folks! i would like to ecrypt some data (backups) what will be uploaded on remote server. I'll use ecryptfs. Should i use aes256 or i can keep aes128 in question of speed?
shewp 2017-01-26 08:18:23
i'd go for 256
jolt 2017-01-26 08:18:28
if your not starved on cpu I would use 256 simply because longer takes harder to crack. And backups will probably be around long
tomcres 2017-01-26 08:18:54
nikitasius: if you have a reasonably fast processor, stick with AES-256. You won't notice much of a difference in speed.
nikitasius 2017-01-26 08:19:20
tomcres: here are `openssl speed aes` https://gist.github.com/nikitasius/c571acf0fb01a573c3c86c828b643e9c
nikitasius 2017-01-26 08:20:19
30% less speed
tomcres 2017-01-26 08:21:05
nikitasius: well, it's your call—whether you need the extra speed or the extra security, which is a greater priority
nikitasius 2017-01-26 08:22:08
jolt: tomcres: idk it there are much more security. AES little old.. now people use ECC (ecliptic).
nikitasius 2017-01-26 08:22:24
2^128 vs 2^256 but 2^128 still a lot

how does that compare to gpg's default (the symmetric part that takes over after the key is created by asymmetric)

Hi guys, I have installed opensuse along with debian but the initial screen to choose the system, I don't remember the name, does not recognize opensuse so in the list I see just debian and ubuntu, why?

jolt: lol :) aes192 in the middle between 128 and 256.
Brigo 2017-01-26 08:26:17
MarkL, Debian installer can't find it. It could be because of the filesytem (unlikely) or the kernel is not in the expected place or something like it.
jolt 2017-01-26 08:26:23
configuringMOUSE: have you used xev to see which keycode is sent when you press it?
Brigo 2017-01-26 08:26:35
MarkL, i don't know opensuse os i can't only guess.

I am installing debian on qemu and I can't complete the last step -> install the GRUB to the hard disk. Can anyone help ?
dontknow 2017-01-26 08:27:57
MarkL, it is called grub
Brigo 2017-01-26 08:28:24
configuringMOUSE, i would guess both buttons pressed generate another code you have to remap too.

configuringMOUSE: I just use i3vm, and there I have just mapped keys like that in i3, so maybe it's the VM's config that should handle it? Which VM are you running?
configuringMOUSE 2017-01-26 08:29:38
Brigo when I hold right mouse button, for example, and press thumb, xev displays thumb as thumb (instead of Space, my remap)
zykotick9 2017-01-26 08:29:46
configuringMOUSE: a problem with SOME but not all PS2->USB adapters is they can only accept a single input at a time. there are some games which require TWO buttons to be pressed at the same time, and these "cheap" adapters can't. i wonder if you mouse might be similar? best of luck.
configuringMOUSE 2017-01-26 08:29:57
it doesn't generate another code, it just reverts to default settings

configuringMOUSE 2017-01-26 08:31:16
jolt: it's neither window manager nor virtual machine related, this is just about xorg and the tools available to remap
zykotick9 2017-01-26 08:31:22
configuringMOUSE: sorry, i meant PS2 as in Playstation 2 ;) but if the button is reverting to default, i doubt it's a lack of multi-input support. good luck.

verumnost, interesting. i don't know
tomcres 2017-01-26 08:31:59
MarkL: what likely happened is that the last operating system you installed, when it updated grub.cfg, didn't detect opensuse and therefore didn't add it to the boot menu. I just don't know a way to fix it other than manually adding an entry to grub.cfg, and I wouldn't want to have you do that just to have it overwritten again at a later time. someone must know a better way to do this, but I'm…

Hi all

Is there something else I need to install on Debian Wheezy besides postfix, if I want to send e-mail messages ?
configuringMOUSE 2017-01-26 08:41:29
http://superuser.com/questions/883782/how-do-i-properly-map-a-keyboard-key-to-a-mouse-button this guy explains it better
tomcres 2017-01-26 08:41:50
configuringMOUSE: is it possible that the combination of the two buttons is a different event? could you possibly remap that combination of buttons? (just trying to help you brainstorm…not an expert at all)
tomcres 2017-01-26 08:42:31
graps: any mail server should do, including postfix. You shouldn't require anything else.
configuringMOUSE 2017-01-26 08:42:55
tomcres: the combination of holding mouse left click and pressing thumb equals Thumb, the remapping is ignored when another mouse button is being held
graps 2017-01-26 08:43:06
tomcres: Thanks. I am working out the mail.cf and individual user mailboxes now
configuringMOUSE 2017-01-26 08:43:15
the event is the same as If i'd pressed thumb with no remap
tomcres 2017-01-26 08:43:55
configuringMOUSE: I understand your frustration. This really doesn't make much sense then.
